A well-liked, well-known car guy, Farley got to push a U.S. Road Racing Championship Cobra around Laguna Seca during California's recent Monterey Historics weekend. The rare, open-top racer had a few cameras, a lap timer and a g-meter strapped to it, which is good news for the rest of us. The Cobra produces sounds that would make modern race cars shriek in terror, and Farley does a good job of pushing it around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Click past the jump to check it out.

Sure beats dodging shopping carts in a Camry around Walmart parking lots like in your last job for Toyota, eh Mr. Farley? :)
You couldn't wipe the smile off my face for a week if I had the chance to drive that car around that track.

You're 100% right.
During the trans-am practice, a couple of cars were badly damaged in some accidents.....the president of the trans-am racing club was shouting at the drivers....he was livid.....This is all about fun and nostalgia, not record breaking.

This car isn't producing any sounds that make modern race cars shriek in terror. If anything it actually sounds tame.
The current C6.R Corvettes sound more vicious and even those can't hold a candle to the Panoz LMP-1 Roadster S.

I expected that he wouldn't drive a production car.
Lets see.... the GT500 can't even crank off one lap around the ring without overheating the blower. It's nearly 4000lbs and requires some work to be ready for the track.......
Sure enough he's driving in a gutted lightweight Cobra..... you know from back in time when light weight was considered the biggest selling point.
